EgLarge crowds of delighted visitors attended the afternoon and evening exhibition of Hemming', Cooper & Whitby's combination on Saturday last. The popular verdict was that a good entertainment was presented both in the circus and animal show.

Some five weeks ago he ran away, and after several days' search, Was found nearly dead with cold and hunger. On April 13th he ran a way again and cannot be found. It Is thought he Is dead. The Weather. May sat in with cold rain storm, and tbe appearances last night iiidieatid a further installment of the same sort. While this may not be so pleasant to city folks as clear skies and warm suns, it is, nevertheless, an established belief In the minds ot farmers that " a cool wet May makes good wheat crop." This being the case, let us endeavor to "never mind tbe weather, so the wind don't blow.'' Emigrant Agext's .Report. Air. C. H.

Commissioner Dtlano tias decided the Internal Revenue tax case, about which so much lighting has been going on between Assessor Webster, of New York and the Wall street brokers. He holds that any one having a place of business where credits are opened by depositor for collection, money subject to be paid 'upon draft, check, or order, or when money is loaned on collateral, must be regarded as banker, and taxed as such upon tbe capital employed, beyond average amount invested in United States bonds, and also upon the average amount of deposits, hether payable on demand or at some future day. That In ascertaining the amount of capital, all . money used In tbe Dan it Dustness rrtu-t De re garded as capital, whether turn Ished by the firm or borrowed, and it is immaterial for what time the loans are made. Tbat loans are frequently changed and furnish reliable capital for banking purposes, and in such casrs the average amount thus borrowed should be ascer tained and taxed as capital. That the av erags amount of deposits, both those upon which interest is paid and upon which none is paid, is taxable; and that the same firm may be engaged In business as bankers and broken, and the payment of taxes as brokers does not release them from liabili ty to pay taxes upon their capital, and the deposits employed in their business as bankers. Pocket Boon Lost It is Found and Contents Partially Recovered. On Saturday afternoon, Mr. Richard Nevins, while walking on Broad 8treet,near Third. dropped bis pocket book, containing three hundred and ninety dollars and a number of railroad and telegraph papers. A man, following at some distance behind, approached the spot on which the pocket book was lying, picked It np and put It 1 his pocket. He was seen to do this by another man who was riding on horse back near by, and who asked him what he had found. He replied that he had found nice cigar case. The horseman doubted this, and determined to watch the finder. This be am persistently, tracing him to tbe circus performance, on North High street, where lie lost sight of him. He felt confident 'that be could Identify bis man, however, and accordingly sent word to Mr. Nevins yesterday morning concerning his experience of the night before. M Nevins started out tn quest of tbe findcr.and bad tbe good fortune to discover him at the scene of the fire at Beal's auction room On being requested to restore the property, he strenuously denied any knowledge ot it whatever, but on tbe approach of a police officer be prompt.y banded over the pocket book; An examination of its eon tents showed that all tbe railroad and tele graph papers had been destroyed, and tbat about $40 in money had been extracted The man pleaded poverty and partial In toxVcation in extenuation of his crime, and was graciously f ermitted to go bis way. ,i .it. ... -.4 i. it . : .(,., .; The Sad Fortunes of War. When the eight per cent. Interest bill was called up In the Senate a few days ago, it was the settled determination of tbe friends ot a higher rate to defeat its passage by hook or by crook. Prominent among the latter Is a gentleman who claims to follow tbe teachings of the Book which denounces usury. He felt confident that victory would perch on the banners of thetan-pet-center r, but anticipating a long siege, he fortified by going out and procuring an ample supply of peanuts. These were brought in, deposited on his desk, and after calling the attention ol several friends of the eight per cent, bill to hia wise-forethought in storing his garrison' with provisions, he calmly awaited tbe onslaught. In an unexpected moment, however, reinforcements came pouring in, tbe garrison was surrounded, tbe enemy was in full force, and tbe discooi fitted ten-per-center retreated in disorder, leaving all hia provisions in the bands of tbe enemy. Tbe $hellingln the vicinity ot the deserted garrison was very heavy, but the valllant commander lost all bis glory and pea nuts. Thb Fire Testebday Morning. An alarm was sounded from station No. 2 yes terday morning. abpttt half past eleven 'clock. Tbe entire department promptly responded, and in a very short space of time succeeded in subduing a fire which, had it gtlned headway, would have proved ry destructive. The rooms' occupied by Mr. J. G. Beat, auctioneer, in tbe premises. at the comer of High and Broad streets, owned by Mr.G. F. Wheeler, were discovered to be on fire. Before tbe alarm was given, however, tne entire stock of goods in tbe room fronting on High street, and consisting of boots, shoes, muslins, clotti ng, a general assortment of notions, fcc. fcc, was almost entirely dtstroyed. The room fronting on Broad street was stored with furniture, which was removed to the trect uninjured by Are. The loss to the stock of goods will reach about $1,800, which is fully covered by insurance. There was no insurance on the fixtures. It is Impossible to announce the loss sustained to the building at present, but it is fully Insured, whatever it may be. Tbe re was confined to the room fronting on High street. The origin of tbe fire Is a mystery, but it may bave originated by parks filling to a flue below the first floor and thence communicating to the store room and its contents.

Norris, State Commissioner of Common Schools, for the fifteenth annual report to the Governor, for tbe year end-log Angust 31, 1868. Tbe report furnishes Information of tbe most valuable nature to the people of Ohio, and is a model of most thorough and satisfactory detail of tbe workings of our common school system. Quoting from the report, we give the lead- lng facts and transactions In the administration of the system for the past year, In the following summary: At the beginning of the school year (September 1st, 1S67 ) there were in the State 1,019.192 youth It gtlly entitled to ad mission to the public schools; 672.053 ol whom were residents of the aub-districtf, nd the remaining number. 347,139, were residents of the separate districts (cities. towns and villages. At the same date, there were in the State 11353 school houses, the value ot which, together with the grounds and out-build ings, as estimated by local school authorities, was $9 072 443. Of these 10 690 were in the subdistrii'ts, valued at $4,852,607, and classed according to the material of which they were bullc thus: framed, 8,184; brick, 1,025; stone, 96; log 785. The remaining number, 663, valued at $4,219,836, were In the separate districts, and classed according to the material of which thev were built, thus: framed, 257; brick, 406; It thus appears that in the sub-districts there was one school house to every sixty-three resident youths of school age. It may also be shown that there was one school house to every three and one-halt f quire miles of territory Included within the sub-districts, and that the school houses In the separate districts afforded ample accommodations tor all the resident youth asking admission thereto. For the schooling of the 1 019,192 youth to be provided for, 11,783 schools, located, as has been shown, within easy reach of the homes of the pupils, affording accommonations for all, and requiring constantly 14,070 teachers, were opened and sustained, on an average, 27.81 weeks, or 139 days. Tbe number of persons actually employed In the schools In the capaci ty ot teachers was 21,592. The number of youth wbose names were entered on the school registers was 731.772, the average daily attendance faring 410 721. Colonel Norris fully discusses important measures requiring legislation, and sums them up aa follows: 1. A thorough and efficient system of county superintendency. 2. A broad and comprehensive system of professional instruction and training for teachers. . 3. The abolition of the subdlstrict system ot territorial divisions for school purposes, and the adoption of the township system, without subdivisions of any kind, except perhaps, tor election purposes. 4. Tbe distribution ot the State's gratuity on the basis of the actual aggregate school attendance, Instead of, as now, on tbe basis ot enumeration of youth of school age. 5. The creation of a State Board ot Ed ucation or Council of Administration. 6. Tbe employ ment of at least one deputy school commissioner, and a sufficient cler ical force In the school department to make its power felt for good in carrying out the general educational policy ot tbe State. Hooflakd's Rem (dies. Tbe leading pa per of the Northwest, the "Wisconsin," Milwaukee, gets off some very good things, among the latest ot which we extract tbe following: "An Excellent Medicine. One of the most popular medicines of the day is Hoof-land's German Bitters, which is designed to keep the stomach and liver in a healthy condition. Tbe Bitters is prepared with out the uso of intoxicating liquors, and if a person desires to drink liquor under the fashionable name of Bitters, be bad best apply for something else than Hoofland's. Druggists tell us that the sale of this art I- cle is large, and is continually on the increase; tbat all who use it are pleased with its excellent qualities, and that they could not think of keeping store without it. In cases ot debility or prostration of the sys tem, Hoofland's German Bitters will be found an excellent article, as well as for dyspepsia. "Hooflland's German Tonic is combi nation of ail the ingredients of the Bitters, with pure Santa Cruz rum, orange anise, &a. It is used for the same diseases as the Bitters, in cases where an alcoholic stldulant is required. It Is a preparation of rare medical value, and most agreeable to the pa' ate."

Loadoa Pra oat Sunaaer Speech The Itrjeclloaa ot I he Alabama Xreaisy. London, April 30. The London papers open their editorial pages with comments on the speech lately delivered by Mr. Sumner, on tbe subject of the Alabama claims and the relations gen erally existing between Great Britain and America. The write ra suppress the text ol the speech, however. The Star, John Brlght's organ, says the claims of Mr. Sumner are so new and start ling, so vagnely put, they must be regarded simply as enormous, and, withal, so unex pected, tbat If they convey merely tbe shadow of bis Instructions to Minister Motley, he will come to the English metropolis in a very different official guise from tbat under which Minister Johnson, the genial diner-out, now about to blJ adieu to tbe court and people, arrived. Tbe Star deplores tbe r lection, by England, of the early overtures made by ix-Minister Adams for the settlement of this question. President Grant is not, It Is said, to be a whole-souled lover of peace,as was Lincoln. He has an Intense determination of character, but is a western man without that natural genius which served Lincoln, who, Instead of reading, bad actual experience ot tbe world. President Grant has no training either as a lawyer or politician; he Is Intensely American, and the entire world Is acquinted with his resolute purpose. After defending England trom a charge of general sympathy with the Confederates, the writer confesses that the escape ot the Alabama trom England, was both deplorable and disgraceful, forming the worst precedent Great Britain could establish for the futuie lu such like contingency. The Star expresses, however, its amazement at the character of Mr. Sumner's demands for reparation. If Motley's instructions are couched in sim ilar spirit, his mission will be fruitless, as the extravagance of the propositions will strike tbe public at once. Every one knows how anxious the British people are to deal fairly on the subjec'; but justly consider that if her concessions are to be merely used as stand-points for further, and, at present, unreasonable demands, England must carefully consider the position, lest, by yielding unadvisedly, she should establish worse precedents than tbat ot burning ships on the high seas, by admitting to discussion tbe demands, which are utterly untenable, and which ought to be resisted.The Times designates the estimates of American damages, put forth by Mr. Sumner, as portentious, and says it has already reached 422,000,000, and may in future embrace the possible earnings of all soldiers drawn trom the fields of productive labor by war. The speech, it adds, is worthy of Sumner, and deserves an impartial consideration. He wants, however, something more than national reparation trom England, asking for contrition and public humiliation. The Times asserts tbat in this England is cruelly wronged, and that America bas had no useful object served. Expressions of regret and penitence are required by the treaty. Treaties of peace, bow-ever, dictated by conq lerers at the head of armies, are found to be unencumbered by such expressions an acknowledgment ot moral liability for these claims made beforehand and would prejudge the controversy and stultify tbe proposed settlement. In the event of Bn arbitration court declaring England not liable to pay damages, would the apology here be taken back? The views taken by Sumner's arguments on these points are futile, unreasonable, and u nstatesm anlike. The Times argues that the concession of belligerent rights to the South was a simple act and fact, and not dependent on the Union blockade; for, bad there not beet, a blockade, it wculd not have altered tbe case to any appreciable degree. The prevailing tone of Sumner's speech is characterized as passionate and remonstratlve, and bis menace betrays a one-sided pai-tizansbip, lamentable, and coming from the representative of a great couutry. Sumner,it is said, makes no complaint against France, though Napoleon was desirous of recognizing tbe Independence of the Southern Confederation. It is alleged that though England is held forth as the only foreign power implicably hostile to America, it is not too much to say that at one moment during the war, the fate of the American Union depended on the voice ot England, whose sword thrown into the scale would have altered tbe result. She declined the contest, and it evinces a degree ol unfairness, bordering on infatuation, to leave this outot the ac count. It is a common practice with Amer lean journalists and politicians to villify England and protective tariff. The plan Is popular with them, merely as likely to inflict injury on Great Britain. Let atone ment be made for the use ot insulting lan guage by Individuals, and it will' be seen whether England and America, by the retrospective verdict of public opinion, will continue tbe cultivation of mutual respect, which is as necessary as in private re lations of life. Nations, as such, only deal in overt acts, and these constitute merely pos- oible subjects for pecuniary compensation Tbe Standard, the tory organ, says: The American Senate has done more than reject the treaty, as it haaglven the world reason to believe that Sumner's speech, which is endorsed by tbat supreme body, covers all questions of foreign diplomacy. The English people now know what Motley will bave to aim at in bis efforts to arrange the Alabama claims on the basis now wasted way. Ia some respects good will ensue from the candor which the American Senate displays. Formerly, the danger was, that England would step beyond a due regard lor national honor and dignity, and allow the claims; but now, when the demand bas assumed its present proportions, they will feel assured that even with John Bright In the Cabinet, they are safe from the chance of disgraceful capitulation. The American claims can hardly be described in serious language, and lis terms will not excite indignation. They might as well argue against a proposal for American troops to bold the tower of London, as a material guarantee, or that the Prince of Wales should be sent lo Washington and placed in the bands of Federal authorities f-a hostage for England's good behavior in the future. The policy of England on this subject ia no longer an open question. America has formally recorded ber lesolution that there shall be . no settlement of the Alabama claims short of that England shall surren der at' discretion, and submit to'any'puc- snment which the Unlled States Senar , " In Its Supremacy over u affaire n that world, may choose to Inflict; In- other words, she has decided that the Alabama claims shall not be amicably settled, whatever may ensue. The Interval at the' present day Is not long between national hatred and bora- ; bard meet. It Is useless to ignore, and dangerous to forget, that the feeling in , America is oneot intense and unmitigated hatred toward Great Britain, and that . war with England would be regarded as national luxury, but expensive." Eng- , land has not onlV admitted that such a war would be expensive, but deplorable. t Under the circumstauces,' It is probable ,, that America will elect to keep tne Ala-'' bama claims in reserve, and await' their opportunity for revenge more cheaply. ' War Is not an agreeable solution, though Involving danger rather than dishonor, and it may be better to accept any settle ment which the present administration la London may bave made, il the attitude of the American Senate was less ridiculous Mr. Sumner's speech creates aa intense ' excitement In political circles. " At the cab inet meeting yesterday' the surject of the' speech was Iniornially, discussed Mr.J Brjght declared the embanatsment which tbe publication produced, served England very properly, but agreed not to" consent to entertain the terms of settlement fore shadowed by Mr. Sumner.' , " ' , ',' '." ' . Mr. Clarendon expressed the belief that tbe actual negotiations going on between the two countries on the subject were of far less extreme character than the speeches of American Senators or articles in the! public press. He hoped to And Mri Motley as courteous as Mr. Johnson." The present administration was eager? for a lasting continuance of friendly rela tions with the United States. ,-..4 Mr. Gladstone professes to have good' As surance from reliable quarters, that the recent rejection ot the treaty on this subjecf h. thai American I.1b1biip. w. nft.alw J . yuicij a political movement. ' The present admin istration will endeavor to settle' the Ali-6ama question on liberal and honorable) terms. Outside the tone of the Enzllsli- people is anti- American, and more so since having read only partial publications of Mr. Sumner's argument. ' a ": , ' ' LoNDON.'May The English press continues to review Mr. Sumner's epeecb on the Alabama ques- tlon. ,; " ' ' ' " , - '" - ' " The Times at the conclusion of a' long article, says : The Queen's proclamation of neutrality at the beginning of the rebellion; was a prohibition, not an authoriz-itlon of blockade runners. The only real evil caused by it was the position of the Government towards the Alabama 'in English ports? which point would bave come within the operation of tbe rejected treaty."

Commissioner Dtlano tias decided the Internal Revenue tax case, about which so much lighting has been going on between Assessor Webster, of New York and the Wall street brokers. He holds that any one having a place of business where credits are opened by depositor for collection, money subject to be paid 'upon draft, check, or order, or when money is loaned on collateral, must be regarded as banker, and taxed as such upon tbe capital employed, beyond average amount invested in United States bonds, and also upon the average amount of deposits, hether payable on demand or at some future day. That In ascertaining the amount of capital, all . money used In tbe Dan it Dustness rrtu-t De re garded as capital, whether turn Ished by the firm or borrowed, and it is immaterial for what time the loans are made. Tbat loans are frequently changed and furnish reliable capital for banking purposes, and in such casrs the average amount thus borrowed should be ascer tained and taxed as capital. That the av erags amount of deposits, both those upon which interest is paid and upon which none is paid, is taxable; and that the same firm may be engaged In business as bankers and broken, and the payment of taxes as brokers does not release them from liabili ty to pay taxes upon their capital, and the deposits employed in their business as bankers. Pocket Boon Lost It is Found and Contents Partially Recovered. On Saturday afternoon, Mr. Richard Nevins, while walking on Broad 8treet,near Third. dropped bis pocket book, containing three hundred and ninety dollars and a number of railroad and telegraph papers. A man, following at some distance behind, approached the spot on which the pocket book was lying, picked It np and put It 1 his pocket. He was seen to do this by another man who was riding on horse back near by, and who asked him what he had found. He replied that he had found nice cigar case. The horseman doubted this, and determined to watch the finder. This be am persistently, tracing him to tbe circus performance, on North High street, where lie lost sight of him. He felt confident 'that be could Identify bis man, however, and accordingly sent word to Mr. Nevins yesterday morning concerning his experience of the night before. M Nevins started out tn quest of tbe findcr.and bad tbe good fortune to discover him at the scene of the fire at Beal's auction room On being requested to restore the property, he strenuously denied any knowledge ot it whatever, but on tbe approach of a police officer be prompt.y banded over the pocket book; An examination of its eon tents showed that all tbe railroad and tele graph papers had been destroyed, and tbat about $40 in money had been extracted The man pleaded poverty and partial In toxVcation in extenuation of his crime, and was graciously f ermitted to go bis way. ,i .it. ... -.4 i. it . : .(,., .; The Sad Fortunes of War. When the eight per cent. Interest bill was called up In the Senate a few days ago, it was the settled determination of tbe friends ot a higher rate to defeat its passage by hook or by crook. Prominent among the latter Is a gentleman who claims to follow tbe teachings of the Book which denounces usury. He felt confident that victory would perch on the banners of thetan-pet-center r, but anticipating a long siege, he fortified by going out and procuring an ample supply of peanuts. These were brought in, deposited on his desk, and after calling the attention ol several friends of the eight per cent, bill to hia wise-forethought in storing his garrison' with provisions, he calmly awaited tbe onslaught. In an unexpected moment, however, reinforcements came pouring in, tbe garrison was surrounded, tbe enemy was in full force, and tbe discooi fitted ten-per-center retreated in disorder, leaving all hia provisions in the bands of tbe enemy. Tbe $hellingln the vicinity ot the deserted garrison was very heavy, but the valllant commander lost all bis glory and pea nuts. Thb Fire Testebday Morning. An alarm was sounded from station No. 2 yes terday morning. abpttt half past eleven 'clock. Tbe entire department promptly responded, and in a very short space of time succeeded in subduing a fire which, had it gtlned headway, would have proved ry destructive. The rooms' occupied by Mr. J. G. Beat, auctioneer, in tbe premises. at the comer of High and Broad streets, owned by Mr.G. F. Wheeler, were discovered to be on fire. Before tbe alarm was given, however, tne entire stock of goods in tbe room fronting on High street, and consisting of boots, shoes, muslins, clotti ng, a general assortment of notions, fcc. fcc, was almost entirely dtstroyed. The room fronting on Broad street was stored with furniture, which was removed to the trect uninjured by Are. The loss to the stock of goods will reach about $1,800, which is fully covered by insurance. There was no insurance on the fixtures. It is Impossible to announce the loss sustained to the building at present, but it is fully Insured, whatever it may be. Tbe re was confined to the room fronting on High street. The origin of tbe fire Is a mystery, but it may bave originated by parks filling to a flue below the first floor and thence communicating to the store room and its contents.

Norris, State Commissioner of Common Schools, for the fifteenth annual report to the Governor, for tbe year end-log Angust 31, 1868. Tbe report furnishes Information of tbe most valuable nature to the people of Ohio, and is a model of most thorough and satisfactory detail of tbe workings of our common school system. Quoting from the report, we give the lead- lng facts and transactions In the administration of the system for the past year, In the following summary: At the beginning of the school year (September 1st, 1S67 ) there were in the State 1,019.192 youth It gtlly entitled to ad mission to the public schools; 672.053 ol whom were residents of the aub-districtf, nd the remaining number. 347,139, were residents of the separate districts (cities. towns and villages. At the same date, there were in the State 11353 school houses, the value ot which, together with the grounds and out-build ings, as estimated by local school authorities, was $9 072 443. Of these 10 690 were in the subdistrii'ts, valued at $4,852,607, and classed according to the material of which they were bullc thus: framed, 8,184; brick, 1,025; stone, 96; log 785. The remaining number, 663, valued at $4,219,836, were In the separate districts, and classed according to the material of which thev were built, thus: framed, 257; brick, 406; It thus appears that in the sub-districts there was one school house to every sixty-three resident youths of school age. It may also be shown that there was one school house to every three and one-halt f quire miles of territory Included within the sub-districts, and that the school houses In the separate districts afforded ample accommodations tor all the resident youth asking admission thereto. For the schooling of the 1 019,192 youth to be provided for, 11,783 schools, located, as has been shown, within easy reach of the homes of the pupils, affording accommonations for all, and requiring constantly 14,070 teachers, were opened and sustained, on an average, 27.81 weeks, or 139 days. Tbe number of persons actually employed In the schools In the capaci ty ot teachers was 21,592. The number of youth wbose names were entered on the school registers was 731.772, the average daily attendance faring 410 721. Colonel Norris fully discusses important measures requiring legislation, and sums them up aa follows: 1. A thorough and efficient system of county superintendency. 2. A broad and comprehensive system of professional instruction and training for teachers. . 3. The abolition of the subdlstrict system ot territorial divisions for school purposes, and the adoption of the township system, without subdivisions of any kind, except perhaps, tor election purposes. 4. Tbe distribution ot the State's gratuity on the basis of the actual aggregate school attendance, Instead of, as now, on tbe basis ot enumeration of youth of school age. 5. The creation of a State Board ot Ed ucation or Council of Administration. 6. Tbe employ ment of at least one deputy school commissioner, and a sufficient cler ical force In the school department to make its power felt for good in carrying out the general educational policy ot tbe State. Hooflakd's Rem (dies. Tbe leading pa per of the Northwest, the "Wisconsin," Milwaukee, gets off some very good things, among the latest ot which we extract tbe following: "An Excellent Medicine. One of the most popular medicines of the day is Hoof-land's German Bitters, which is designed to keep the stomach and liver in a healthy condition. Tbe Bitters is prepared with out the uso of intoxicating liquors, and if a person desires to drink liquor under the fashionable name of Bitters, be bad best apply for something else than Hoofland's. Druggists tell us that the sale of this art I- cle is large, and is continually on the increase; tbat all who use it are pleased with its excellent qualities, and that they could not think of keeping store without it. In cases ot debility or prostration of the sys tem, Hoofland's German Bitters will be found an excellent article, as well as for dyspepsia. "Hooflland's German Tonic is combi nation of ail the ingredients of the Bitters, with pure Santa Cruz rum, orange anise, &a. It is used for the same diseases as the Bitters, in cases where an alcoholic stldulant is required. It Is a preparation of rare medical value, and most agreeable to the pa' ate."

Loadoa Pra oat Sunaaer Speech The Itrjeclloaa ot I he Alabama Xreaisy. London, April 30. The London papers open their editorial pages with comments on the speech lately delivered by Mr. Sumner, on tbe subject of the Alabama claims and the relations gen erally existing between Great Britain and America. The write ra suppress the text ol the speech, however. The Star, John Brlght's organ, says the claims of Mr. Sumner are so new and start ling, so vagnely put, they must be regarded simply as enormous, and, withal, so unex pected, tbat If they convey merely tbe shadow of bis Instructions to Minister Motley, he will come to the English metropolis in a very different official guise from tbat under which Minister Johnson, the genial diner-out, now about to blJ adieu to tbe court and people, arrived. Tbe Star deplores tbe r lection, by England, of the early overtures made by ix-Minister Adams for the settlement of this question. President Grant is not, It Is said, to be a whole-souled lover of peace,as was Lincoln. He has an Intense determination of character, but is a western man without that natural genius which served Lincoln, who, Instead of reading, bad actual experience ot tbe world. President Grant has no training either as a lawyer or politician; he Is Intensely American, and the entire world Is acquinted with his resolute purpose. After defending England trom a charge of general sympathy with the Confederates, the writer confesses that the escape ot the Alabama trom England, was both deplorable and disgraceful, forming the worst precedent Great Britain could establish for the futuie lu such like contingency. The Star expresses, however, its amazement at the character of Mr. Sumner's demands for reparation. If Motley's instructions are couched in sim ilar spirit, his mission will be fruitless, as the extravagance of the propositions will strike tbe public at once. Every one knows how anxious the British people are to deal fairly on the subjec'; but justly consider that if her concessions are to be merely used as stand-points for further, and, at present, unreasonable demands, England must carefully consider the position, lest, by yielding unadvisedly, she should establish worse precedents than tbat ot burning ships on the high seas, by admitting to discussion tbe demands, which are utterly untenable, and which ought to be resisted.The Times designates the estimates of American damages, put forth by Mr. Sumner, as portentious, and says it has already reached 422,000,000, and may in future embrace the possible earnings of all soldiers drawn trom the fields of productive labor by war. The speech, it adds, is worthy of Sumner, and deserves an impartial consideration. He wants, however, something more than national reparation trom England, asking for contrition and public humiliation. The Times asserts tbat in this England is cruelly wronged, and that America bas had no useful object served. Expressions of regret and penitence are required by the treaty. Treaties of peace, bow-ever, dictated by conq lerers at the head of armies, are found to be unencumbered by such expressions an acknowledgment ot moral liability for these claims made beforehand and would prejudge the controversy and stultify tbe proposed settlement. In the event of Bn arbitration court declaring England not liable to pay damages, would the apology here be taken back? The views taken by Sumner's arguments on these points are futile, unreasonable, and u nstatesm anlike. The Times argues that the concession of belligerent rights to the South was a simple act and fact, and not dependent on the Union blockade; for, bad there not beet, a blockade, it wculd not have altered tbe case to any appreciable degree. The prevailing tone of Sumner's speech is characterized as passionate and remonstratlve, and bis menace betrays a one-sided pai-tizansbip, lamentable, and coming from the representative of a great couutry. Sumner,it is said, makes no complaint against France, though Napoleon was desirous of recognizing tbe Independence of the Southern Confederation. It is alleged that though England is held forth as the only foreign power implicably hostile to America, it is not too much to say that at one moment during the war, the fate of the American Union depended on the voice ot England, whose sword thrown into the scale would have altered tbe result. She declined the contest, and it evinces a degree ol unfairness, bordering on infatuation, to leave this outot the ac count. It is a common practice with Amer lean journalists and politicians to villify England and protective tariff. The plan Is popular with them, merely as likely to inflict injury on Great Britain. Let atone ment be made for the use ot insulting lan guage by Individuals, and it will' be seen whether England and America, by the retrospective verdict of public opinion, will continue tbe cultivation of mutual respect, which is as necessary as in private re lations of life. Nations, as such, only deal in overt acts, and these constitute merely pos- oible subjects for pecuniary compensation Tbe Standard, the tory organ, says: The American Senate has done more than reject the treaty, as it haaglven the world reason to believe that Sumner's speech, which is endorsed by tbat supreme body, covers all questions of foreign diplomacy. The English people now know what Motley will bave to aim at in bis efforts to arrange the Alabama claims on the basis now wasted way. Ia some respects good will ensue from the candor which the American Senate displays. Formerly, the danger was, that England would step beyond a due regard lor national honor and dignity, and allow the claims; but now, when the demand bas assumed its present proportions, they will feel assured that even with John Bright In the Cabinet, they are safe from the chance of disgraceful capitulation. The American claims can hardly be described in serious language, and lis terms will not excite indignation. They might as well argue against a proposal for American troops to bold the tower of London, as a material guarantee, or that the Prince of Wales should be sent lo Washington and placed in the bands of Federal authorities f-a hostage for England's good behavior in the future. The policy of England on this subject ia no longer an open question. America has formally recorded ber lesolution that there shall be . no settlement of the Alabama claims short of that England shall surren der at' discretion, and submit to'any'puc- snment which the Unlled States Senar , " In Its Supremacy over u affaire n that world, may choose to Inflict; In- other words, she has decided that the Alabama claims shall not be amicably settled, whatever may ensue. The Interval at the' present day Is not long between national hatred and bora- ; bard meet. It Is useless to ignore, and dangerous to forget, that the feeling in , America is oneot intense and unmitigated hatred toward Great Britain, and that . war with England would be regarded as national luxury, but expensive." Eng- , land has not onlV admitted that such a war would be expensive, but deplorable. t Under the circumstauces,' It is probable ,, that America will elect to keep tne Ala-'' bama claims in reserve, and await' their opportunity for revenge more cheaply. ' War Is not an agreeable solution, though Involving danger rather than dishonor, and it may be better to accept any settle ment which the present administration la London may bave made, il the attitude of the American Senate was less ridiculous Mr. Sumner's speech creates aa intense ' excitement In political circles.

Mr. Clarendon expressed the belief that tbe actual negotiations going on between the two countries on the subject were of far less extreme character than the speeches of American Senators or articles in the! public press.
